Microsoft Office Publisher
is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is an
entry-level application, differing from Microsoft Word in that
the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than
text composition and proofing.

Microsoft Publisher 2007 provides simple story editing with
Microsoft Word 2007, but unlike Adobe InDesign & Adobe InCopy,
it does not provide built in XML story board and copy-editing
support. Unlike the core Office 2007 applications, it does not
feature the Ribbon user interface.

The Microsoft Publisher trial version can be used as a viewer
beyond the trial period. It combines a personal computer and
WYSIWYG page layout software to create publication documents on
a computer either large scale local multi-functional peripheral
output and distribution. It is suitable for creating
personalized greeting cards, posters, flyers, banners,
calendars, advertisements, and many other printed materials
